Data collection
Scrivix does not collect data from Dots & Boxes Together. The app does not require an account and does not include advertising, analytics, or third-party tracking.
Nearby Play
When you use Nearby Play, player names, color selections, and game information are exchanged directly between the participating nearby devices so the game can work. Scrivix does not receive this information, and it is not transmitted to or stored on a Scrivix server.
Other people in the nearby game can see the player name and color you choose for that game.
Game Center
Online Play and achievements use Apple Game Center. When you choose these features, Apple may process your Game Center identity, invitations, match information, achievement progress, and related service data under Apple’s privacy policy. Other participants may see your Game Center display name and gameplay activity.
Scrivix does not operate the matchmaking service or receive a separate copy of your Game Center account information. You can manage Game Center in your device settings.
In-App Purchases
The optional Tip Jar uses Apple’s In-App Purchase system. Apple processes the purchase and payment information. Scrivix receives transaction and sales information made available by Apple but does not receive your full payment-card details. Tips do not unlock features or change gameplay.
Device permissions
Nearby Play may request Local Network and Bluetooth-related access so nearby Apple devices can discover and communicate with one another. These capabilities are used only to provide local multiplayer gameplay.
Storage and deletion
The app may retain your chosen player name, color, preferences, achievement progress, and Daily Chain results locally on your device for convenience. Game Center may also retain achievements associated with your Apple account. Removing the app removes locally stored information but does not necessarily remove information maintained by Apple.
Information exchanged during a nearby game is used for that local game session and is not retained by Scrivix. Because Scrivix does not collect or hold this information, there is no developer-held account or personal-data record to request for deletion.
Children’s privacy
Dots & Boxes Together does not knowingly collect personal information from children or other users.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the app’s features or privacy practices change. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
